November's first haul of antiques and untiques

Whew!!

Soooooo much in the pipeline. 

But here's what we have for you today:

hand-carved wooden frog 

Not too far from the source material.

=====================================================================

They're not only adorable, but they're useful too!

as in holding your salt and pepper.  Or your turmeric and garlic powder. 

 Or your paprika and your cumin.

PLUS they have their own place to be. 

===================================================================

Josef Originals is in the house!   SOLD

This very same cat was in the house I grew up in.

I mean, a double of this one.  The cat above came from a flea market.

My mom liked to collect Josef Originals, but stopped when they moved manufacture from California to Japan.  The kitty I'm selling began life in California.

======================================================================

Next up, something EPIC   SOLD

Late 1940s/early 1950s platform shoes

 

Size 7N. Or 7A.  Or maybe 7AA.  (I hate how they size shoes today) Width is about 2.5"

 

Originally from the UK !

 

====================================================================

 

Next, 20-30 years earlier than the shoes:

1920s beaded collar.

Beading was huhYOOGE during that decade.

========================================================================

 

We're now in the banking business. SOLD

 

 or rather the still bank business.

A 'still bank' is a piggy bank with no moving parts.

Awesome, no?
